So as you know from some of my posts and comments it's been awhile now that I have needed a new PC. I don't exactly have the money for a new build right now, but hopefully within 5 months I will.
So let me explain what I want to do with my PC, and other details.
Currently my system is this: (yes I know I don't really need a video card upgrade)
Motherboard - EVGA 780i SLI
CPU - Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz
Memory - 8GB DDR2 800mhz
Video - ATI Radeon HD 5850
PSU - 800W Fatality Series
Case - Coolermaster HAF
Drives -
1 Blu-ray player
1 DVD writer
4 1TB SATA Drives
1 2TB SATA Drive
Alright so for my new system I want the most I can get.
I will be playing all the high end games that come out at 1920x1200, and possibly duel monitor setup, currently running a 24"monitor with a 42" LCD TV, but might get a second 24" monitor. Either way, either duel or single, it's high end resolutions.
I also do multitasking of applications of many sorts, including image processing, browsing, downloading, basically everything lol And I move a crap ton of files back and forth between hard drives, and extract and doing things like that all the time.
Currently I do not have a price point, but I would say 1500 is the max I want to pay, only because I believe you can get pretty much top of the line (not over doing it) for around that much, and of course if the price can be brought down, then I would welcome that.
Not sure if there are new chipsets coming out soon or anything like that, I have not been following that these days, so if that comes into play I would like to know. The one thing I am kinda interested in is USB 3.0 support, are there motherboards out already that support 3.0, or is that down the line... And don't worry about hard drive options, will pick up a cheap 1TB drive or something like that, not interested in SSD right now, because $1000 120GB drive, no matter how fast the system becomes is not worth it to me. My main OS and application drive is from a fresh install 400GB anyways, so.
Ideas, suggestions, options.
Please & Thanks.
